Moving portrait of an outcast, plus cutie Marisa Tomei
Released in 1993, “Untamed Heart” tells the story of Caroline (Marisa Tomei) who works the night shift at a Minneapolis diner. She’s a cute and likable young woman but, for some reason, is unable to maintain the romantic interest of the guys she dates. The answer to her love problems turns out to be right under her nose in the form of the diner’s quiet dishwasher/janitor, Adam (Christian Slater).

“Untamed Heart” is a must for fans of Marisa Tomei and the romance between Caroline and Adam works, although their sexual union is premature IMHO, but real-time has to be condensed into a 102-minute film so I guess it can be overlooked.

What struck me most about this film, aside from Marisa, was the character of Adam. He’s an outcast; he doesn’t fit with the crowd; he’s quiet and mysterious in a misfit type of way; he’s an easy target for people to mock; he’s content to adore Caroline from a distance; his love for her doesn’t change as she keeps making mistakes trying to find someone to love; he secretly acts as her guardian angel and doesn’t care about getting credit.

Why is Caroline attracted to such a person? Because “opposites attract.” We’re naturally attracted to people that have what we lack and vice versa. Caroline is open, talkative and comfortable with practically any social setting; Adam isn’t. Adam is aloof, meditative and unconcerned about fitting in – qualities Caroline lacks.

You’ll see people like Adam in real life if you open your eyes. At a local restaurant I sometimes catch a glimpse of one of the kitchen workers, whether taking a smoke break outside or whatever. He’s in his mid-30s, maybe older, obviously intelligent with a striking appearance, but he’s quiet and aloof from the people around him, with an air of mystery. This is a person, like Adam in the film, who doesn’t fit into society’s mold. College doesn’t work for him despite his intelligence, nor does a conventional job; he just does what he has to in order to live.

The film is very successful at bringing to life this type of outcast in Adam. I found it quite moving because I understand and can relate.

Not everything in the story works, however, which is why I knock off a star in my rating. For instance, it isn’t even remotely believable that Adam would be able to secretly break into someone’s house and do what he does while the people are sleeping. Dumb. What were the writers thinking?

The film was shot on location in NE Minneapolis.

GRADE: B

Be Still, My Baboon Heart.
Christian Slater is a young man with rather freakishly long hair who has been raised in an orphanage and now works as a dishwasher in a Minneapolis diner. He rarely speaks and keeps to himself. Marisa Tomei is a waitress in said diner, and Rosie Perez is her earthy but sympathetic sidekick. Slater has developed a crush on Tomei and follows her around at a discreet distance, so when she’s attacked while walking home from work he’s able to rescue her. Later, her attackers wreak an unpleasant revenge on Slater. All of this brings the two of them together. Slater lets her know, in his recedent way, that he adores her, and she responds by falling for this shy, silent kinda guy. Their love is, how you say, consummated. But there is a problem. Slater was told by the nuns at his orphanage that he’s had a heart transplant, with the donor being a baboon. Whether that’s the case or not, his heart is now weakened and needs a booster shot, which Slater is unready to undergo. Eventually his heart, simian or hominid, beats its last, but not before he’s had a heck of a good time exchanging tender gestures and body fluids with Marisa Tomei.

I can’t really tell if this is a particularly well-done example of the genre because I watch so few examples. I could see most of the developments coming, and so would you. And the crooning of Johnny Mathis and Nat “King” Cole’s mystical pop song, “Nature Boy,” from the 1950s really wasn’t necessary. We get the picture. Slater is quiet, shy, and mysterious — like Montgomery Clift in “A Place in the Sun” — the sort of man who attracts women, but only in the movies. In real life I would imagine that he would absorb the attention of women who were chiefly neurotics. A research plan for young men who DON’T look like Montgomery Clift: Get a menial job, speak to no one, don’t meet anyone’s gaze, and see what happens. If you save a co-worker from rape, you might get a Thank You note and a box of chocolates.

Well, I’ve made sufficient fun of the movie and it’s a bit unfair, like stretching the iridescent wings of a butterfly on the rack. It’s supposed to be a sweet and endearing story, and it is, even if it’s some mutant form of Beauty and the Beast. At least I was able to get into it, though I hadn’t expected to.

The “Nature Boy” business was an irritant, and the baboon heart slipped motionlessly by me, but Slater is quietly effective in the role and Marisa Tomei is quite good and thoroughly believable as a sensitive young woman who serves ham and eggs and reads “Catch 22” at home. Rosie Perez is always a kick in the pants too.

The film stands as a beacon of hope for those of us who trudge off to work, looking exactly the way we feel, and yet suffer from an intense desire to find love in an unpromising milieu. Or anywhere else.
